Is bidien the offical dnc nom?
Mary and other guy dropped out?

Because he is the sitting president he is the presumptive nominee, the convention is in August so it won't be official until then.

Please don't make factual statements unless you are sure they are correct.  A simple Google search will show that what I previously said is correct.  Both Trmp and Biden are presumptive nominees of their respective parties, because of the primary results.

Spacy is correct.  They are the presumed nominees. Biden because he's the sitting president with one term remaining and hasn't dropped out.  No eligible sitting president has lost the primary when running for reelection.  Sometimes they don't even bother with a primary. (See 2020 election)

But Biden could drop out.  At present both Biden and Trump are largely unopposed but it's not official until the Convention.
Gone.

He is under the impression that I posted my post because I thought his was wrong. He's so vain, I bet he thinks this post is about him. Anyway, I was not implying gnuarm is incorrect, I was merely participating in the thread without a thought about him or his post. He clearly hasn't jiggled the stick.

Also, it is also true that Biden is the presumptive nominee because he is the sitting president with one term remaining. There's clearly nothing, other than death (or dropping out), that will make them seriously put forth any other candidate as an option. It's the same for both parties.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

There is non stop noise about replacing Biden in the news now.  I'm starting to think Trump is going to start campaigning to keep Biden in the race.

Think about how wild it would be if Biden stayed in the race and won.

Exactly! I was thinking they need to get whoever wrote Pres Obama's speeches to start writing for her. She needs to give up on her slogans, because they are so dumb, go back to being mean prosecutor Kamala. The people really just need to feel like an adult is in charge of the country.

I don't see any mention there of being the current President, which is the statement I was disputing.  Having the delegates, by the primary votes, is exactly how one wins a nomination. 

I would suggest you read some of the dictionary links, rather than the solitary definition given by Google itself.

Well he's 81 and apparently no one but his personal aides are allowed to enter his whitehouse quarters after 4:30pm...so maybe 8 is staying up late for him.

My dad is 80 and stops up past 1am everyday, reading the paper and watching any sport he might have recorded.  I've talked to him about running for US President, but he doesn't seem interested, despite my parents enjoying their holidays in America.

Yeah, everyone ages differently. Some people show no signs of dementia and are "sharp as a tack" into their 90s, others just aren't that lucky. My grandpa was a really smart and interesting man, the best grandpa anyone could wish to have (you guys would have loved him) but Alzheimer's took him away. He went from being active and independent, to getting lost at the grocery store and the manager driving him home. It was a quick downhill from there.

Big dollop of luck, and my parents have been keeping physically fit as well as doing their "brain exercises" since they retired.  My dad still plays tennis and golf once a week!

My brother in law's mum just went the other week at 81.  She was still on the ball and active - had just been out for a bike ride and lunch with her friends to celebrate her birthday and her heart just gave out - was gone in seconds.  I think that would be the way I'd like to go.

So I hear Biden has insisted on staying.  Whatever you make of that, trying to replace him would be a massive risk.  I suggest democrats and the left wing press stop the infighting and concentrate on the important thing.

Even if he goes the way of Ronny Reagan, it’s not that big a problem.  Presidents don’t accidentally come up with shit legislation because they have a mental slip.  They have entire machinery of government to work out the details.  The worst you’re likely to see is some bad speeches and occasional diplomatic gaffs.  Big fucking deal.

The main thing is what they intend to do with their power, and on that count there’s no contest between the two available options.  You can have a normal president or man who wants to be dictator, like his idol Putin.

Wait, why do you think it's the press's job to concentrate on getting Biden elected?

We're supposed to elect our leaders, not have a shadow govt running the show. The shadow govt has come up with lots of shit executive orders, which are playing out in courts across the US, but accidental shit legislation isn't what people are worried about. The US is a major nuclear power, and the US gets involved in almost every war in one way or another. It would be best if we didn't have a president that needs to go to bed by 8pm.

The best bet for having a "normal president" would be for Biden to step aside and let Amy Klobuchar have a chance. She is one to watch!

"Press job"


Thats the same question i heard on news last night.
"Wtf you blaming me for said the reporter" on why it wasnt reported on earlier.
And she went on to say tgey see him in small doses and bias ignored Her's special investigation ans called him a bias, even though Her spent the longest contiunous interaction with the old guy.


Parallel Same thing i heard last weekin that jackass pierce morgan show where he said its dems failt for the scotus.

Yes, its desm fault for being feckless, but the fault is fecklessness, not in repubs policy.

So back on topic - whos fault for not biasly propping up the least worst of two worstseses?

Biden charavter can be objectively critiqued against his bad character.
Similarly teump.
But comparatively there should be no question of worst.
